A lot of people suggesting Bi-polar, but to offer a different opinion, ADHD could also fit. Emotional disregulation is often overlooked as a symptom in ADHD, especially in women.

I could suggest this video as a jumping off point for further investigation.

I will also share my experience, because female hormones are really wild, and I think sharing can help others recognize what is "normal" and what can be done. I would say that you've given a description which I could apply to myself. I am neither bi-polar nor ADHD. Occasionally I will be having a standard to good week, and without any clear trigger, I will be extremely depressed and emotional. I will, without fail, start my period 2-3 days later. I can also, somewhat reliably trigger panic attacks by drinking to the point that I would call "buzzed" in the 2-3 days before my period. Fortunately or unfortunately, effects of the menstrual cycle can change as you age. These predictable "lows" that I experience only started when I was around 25.

TL;DR You should also talk to your ob/gyn, and an endocrinologist, in addition to a psychiatrist.

I used to live off of Spanish tortilla when I was a student. All you need is potato, egg, onion, salt and pepper, and a bit of cooking oil for your pan. You can also add other ingredients like muahrooms, tomatoes, sausage, or bacon when you have it.

Close! The chocolate swirls are chocolate cake batter piped onto the baking paper and briefly baked so they hold their shape, then I poured on the vanilla batter and finished baking as instructed.
